Little Charlie was very fond of I wish I could head an insurrection against the Sunday night supper as it watching his mother dress. One day, f is usually met. It would be swept out of existence with a celerity that would be astonishing even in this day of rapid transit. Gone forever would be the supper table of one section of the country the plate of cold chopped beef or dried codfish, the pile of white and brown bread, the little dishes of apple sauce, the large ginger cookies. Gone, too, would be that other variety of supper table which thinks to make up for its lack of savory dishes by its much cake. I am afraid even baked beans and brown bread, beloved as they are by certain worthy beings, might not stand against the bosom of destruction. Instead of any or all of these the supper table that should supplant them should be a board of surprises. The Sunday night supper should be the unexpected feast of the week. At this meal the family would never know what to look for. One time the repast would be hot and savory; the next it would be cold, but no less savory. New and startling salads would make their first bow; so to speak, at the Sunday night supper table, and it would be the housekeepers dissipation to devise and search out novelties for this meal. Here she should give rein to any pioneering or adventurous spirit she had in her and train her family to equal daring. Harper's Bazar.
